House Plants - sensitive plan prunning

Expert: Darlene K. Kittle - 10/19/2009

Question
do you have any video on trimming a sensitive plant.

Answer
Carol,

No, I am a volunteer Master Gardener. I am not a professional horticulturalist. It is my experience that it is quite easy to prune most plants back. You can use pruning shears or simply sharp scissors and prune each branch just above a branch or leaf joint. The new branch will sprout out of that joint and grow in the direction that joint faces so choose the joint by which direction you want the new branch to grow in. If you want further info on the plant you can read more at http://reviews.ebay.com/Growing-Sensitive-Plant-Mimosa-pudica_W0QQugidZ100000000... Good luck with your plant.
